  1. I see that Frozen concentrated OJ futures more than doubled from 2005 price levels.

  3. Did you ever consider his answer to you didn't include his full analysis? That he was giving you short simple answers to get rid of you.

  6. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see anywhere in the interview (if that's it in it's entirety) where he tells you to buy orange juice. He talks about it in connection with its weighting in his index, he talks about what would happen if the importance of orange juice changed. He also talks about energy, copper, wheat. His message seems to be "buy commodities" in general, as an asset class. Not bad advice in 2005.

    But again, I don't see a recommendation to buy orange juice.

  7. This bull market will last for many decades, if not forever baring a major catastrophe such as a nearby supernova, gamma ray burst, quantum vacum collapse, nuclear war with hydrogen bombs, stray black hole enters solar system, pandemic, etc

  8. In my humble opinion, I believe the USD is the best long term investment in the world right now. There is nothing cheaper with better long term fundamentals.

    Rogers is mistaken by taking all of his assets out of it.
